5kt problems and 200 WTB



Listers:  My 5kt is giving me the nickel and dime blues.  When I first 
start the car, I can hear a faint clicking sound coming from behind the 
glove box.  I'm assuming a solenoid in the A/C programmer is starting to 
go bad.  If I turn on the head to econ or auto and lower the temp to 72 
degrees,  the clicking goes away.  Today, I nearly froze to death driving 
to work, as the heat no longer works.  Just blows loads of cold air.

Problem two:  When I shut my car off, the radiator fan takes a real long 
time to shut down.  I posted about this before, and I replaced relay 
number 208, and it solved the problem.  Well, sort of.  The fan still 
runs about 9-11 minutes before it shuts off.  I can sometimes bump the 
starter to get it to shut down, but that does not always work.  I also 
noticed as I was shivering this morning that my temp gauge was still 
below "C" 20 minutes into my drive.  Looked straight for a minute or two, 
looked back at the guage, and it read halfway up the scale.  Could my 
multi function temp switch be bad?

Problem three:  After turning left or right, the self-cancelling feature 
of the turn signals does not work.

200 q wanted to buy:  While the 200 awaits new parts to fix the damage 
caused by a bozo plowing into me while waiting at a traffic  light at 40 
mph ( car did relatively well), thought I'd search for a working heated 
seat switch from an '89-91 200/200q.  Please e-mail me if you have one.

Many thanks,

Brian
